As you may know by now, based on the affair I've been having with sriracha, and my infatuation with chicken wings... I like spicy foods.
I love spicy foods.
I would make sacrifices for spicy foods.
I think I've run out of hot sauces to try. Well I thought I did, but then my friend…
This one goes out to my friends at the magical, mystical CF Ranch for letting me take over the kitchen in their private residence and cook up some Javelina. That is love.These are the back straps from the Javelina, silver skin removed (as we talked about yesterday). They marinated for quite some time. Since Javelina…
As you may recall, I went apple picking with an old college friend not too long ago. It was an attempt to re-live those cool, crisp New England days.But seeing as it was 104 degrees, and we were sweaty, I don't think it was really a walk down memory lane.But we got apples. And I…

Grandma P. is in rehabilitation. She's slowly getting her movement back. But she is not pleased with the situation. She said, "Well I guess you're learning a lot about life, aren't you." Then she said, "I'm learning a lot about life too."One of the last things we made together was tofu mayonnaise. She really loves…
I stumbled upon a new beer bar in Mill Valley a few weeks ago, with sawn lumber for tables and a sea of beer and nothing to eat but German pretzels, rolled out, and twisted, and baked to order. I tried a pretzel and what struck me most was not the pretzel (though it was…
I like all things pickled. Pickled peppers, pickled ramps, pickled... things.Sorry. I'm not feeling very eloquent today. I just read a lot of legal jargon and it fried my brain and my eyes are blurry. I can barely see this screen.
